Since I was so taken back by my reaction to this lighting I decided to do some research as to why this happens while on this Protocol. I found out that the fluorescent lighting flickers at 100-120 mz which people on the Marshall protocol cannot neurologically handle. It really can be dangerous if you go to a store with this type of lighting as it worsens your symptoms and causes you to blackout.
I am also finding out that as my vitamin D levels continue to drop my symptoms will continue to worsen. As the new mediation is allowed to attach to more of my cell via the vitamin D receptors which then enables more bacteria to be released from my cells. My immune system continues to fight and kill this bacteria. As the bacteria are killed off they release cytokins that cause inflammation in my lungs, and lymph nodes causing even more flares than before. But this new mediation (Olemesartan) also has an anti-inflammatory property that also helps fight some of the inflammation as well.
Sun is also very bothersome and will create some huge issues for me as well. I find that if I stay in a dark house I feel better and I sleep better in a very darkened room. However, if I do go outside I have to wear a big hat, glasses, long sleeves, and long pants. If I find some shade, I can stay out for longer that a couple minutes.
I seem to be turning into a night owl and find I just feel better once the sun goes down. I have been able to go walk around in the pool for about 15 minutes after dark and going to bed late also helps me because I can sleep in and eliminated being up for so many hours during the daylight.
I did try driving this past week when my son J'Dee needed me to bring a key for his truck to him. I made it down to his house okay, but he followed me home and said I was going very slow. I told him I was extremely nauseated and had some chest pain due to the exposure of the sun while I was driving. Once we arrived home he said I was extremely pale and I told him I felt as if I was going to pass out and or puke.
He stayed with me for a few hours and made sure I had recovered before he left. I felt bad and told him I was fine but he insisted on helping me since I helped him out. My son J'Dee is such and kind and caring son. He made me breakfast and got whatever I needed during my rough patch today. I enjoyed talking to him and spending the time with him. He has been so busy with work and summer fun that I rarely seen him. Although he wasn't too happy about locking his truck keys in his house, I know he appreciated the sacrifice I made to help him out today!
Although many things might be intensifying and some days I felt down right crummy! I try my very best to keep a positive and happy outlook on each day. I tell myself during the rough parts not to worry as my body in waging a war inside. I know that if I rest and listen to my body and not try to push myself through the extreme pain and fatigue then my immune system will have a better chance at killing all the TH1 infection in my body.
I found a scripture (Mormon 9:21 see below) this past week that reminds me to continually pray and ask my Father in Heaven to bless this treatment that I am enduring and to allow it to work to the best of it ability. I also have to admit that I have never prayed for patience more than I do now full knowing that this protocol will take years, not days or months, but years in order to see improvement.
I do know I am on the right path to recovery and if I continue to do my part, ask the Lord for help, and never doubt Him or what He can do…. I will see healing and improvement some day!!!
Mormon 9:21
